List: Top Breast Cancer Awareness & Prevention Organizations

Posted on September 28, 2011December 5, 2020 by Frankye

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month starts in just a few days, so it’s a great time to think about your charitable donations for the year. The fight against breast cancer depends on donations, but with so many Pink Ribbon organizations out there, it’s hard to know where your money will do the most good. Check out Monday’s list the worst breast cancer charities to find our where NOT to donate. Today we’ll take a look at the best organizations. We used Charity Navigator to put together our list. Our number one consideration was how these organizations spend their money. We know you don’t want to donate to a group that spends more on fundraising and advertising than they do on breast cancer programs. We also factored in transparency and accountability. Lastly, we focused on national organizations, though there a several fantastic groups fighting breast cancer on the local level.

Top Breast Cancer Organizations

	Living Beyond Breast Cancer LBBC spends the overwhelming majority of its resources helping women, not staging splashy fundraisers. That’s why OnTimeSupplies.com chose the organization for the Pink Ribbon Merchandise Giveaway. 89% of charitable donations to LBBC go directly to funding their great programs. LBBC provides information and support to women affected by breast cancer at every stage of treatment, from diagnosis to recovery. They also help medical professionals better understand the needs of women with breast cancer.
	Young Survival Coalition YSC was founded to address issues unique to young women affected by breast cancer. The organization supports research and advocacy that prolongs and improves the quality of life of women under 40. YSC devotes more than 80% of their resources on their breast cancer programs, so you can feel good about giving them your money.
	National Breast Cancer Coalition NBCC spends a whopping 86% of the funds in takes in on research, legislative advocacy & providing access to medical treatment. You can be confident that your donation will be well spent.
	Susan G. Komen for the Cure The largest breast cancer organization is also one of the most effective and efficient. Susan G. Komen for the Cure has grown to become the largest source of non-profit dollars in the fight against breast cancer. The organization has raised nearly $2 billion since its 1982 inception. They took in just under $240 million in 2010 alone. And they put that money to good use — more than 80% of donations go to funding breast cancer programs, supporting everything from cutting-edge research to community clinics. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a great time to support any of these causes. You can also pick up Pink Ribbon merchandise at OnTimeSupplies.com. A portion of each sale goes to realiable, effective breast cancer organizations.

Worst Breast Cancer Charities: read before you donate!

Posted on September 26, 2011April 30, 2019 by Frankye

Breast cancer research and prevention thrives on charitable donations. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a great time to contribute to the cause. But with so many Pink Ribbon organizations out there, it can be hard to figure out where to donate. Office Ink is here to help. This week we’ll take a look at the best and worst breast cancer charities & organizations. Up first are the worst. With a little help from the folks at Charity Navigator and the American Institute of Philanthropy, we looked at three metrics:

Find out the worst Pink Ribbon charities & organizations

the ratio between program funding & fundraising expenditures;
transparency and accountability;
overall financial solvency.

From the fraudulent to the merely inefficient, here are our worst breast cancer charities.

	Coalition Against Breast Cancer CABC raised more than $9 million over five years, and spent the vast majority of that on fundraising fees, salaries and benefits, and personal goods. Less than 4% of collected donations went to charitable programs. That’s not just mismanagement, that’s a fraud. In fact, CABC is being sued by the state New York and this summer, the husband & wife team behind the organization plead guilty to grand larceny and scheming to defraud.
	American Breast Cancer Foundation ABCF spends most of the money they raise on more fundraisers. They are also sneaky. Their education & awareness programs are thinly disguised solicitations. Less than 3% of the money donated to the ABCF goes to research grants. And good luck trying to find out who runs the joint. The website doesn’t list board members or key staff.
	United Breast Cancer Foundation UBCF is the best of the worst in this lineup, spending a whole 40% of its 2010 budget on actual charitable activities. You’ll also find board members & key staff listed on their website. Still, there a far more efficient organizations to give to.
	Walker Cancer Research Institute Another organization that spends way more money on fundraisers than on fighting breast cancer and doesn’t provide nearly enough information about who runs the organization. In fact, aside from the crooks at CABC, the disparity between money spent on fundraising, versus money spent on breast cancer programs is the number one drawback of each organization in this list. Want to be sure your charitable donations will actually go to funding breast cancer research, prevention & patient support? We’ll have a list of the best breast cancer organizations Wednesday. Here’s a hint: Living Beyond Breast Cancer is on the list, and you can support them today by entering the Pink Ribbon Merchandise Giveaway from OnTimeSupplies.com.

Cute Breast Cancer Awareness Month Dance Video

Posted on September 23, 2011December 7, 2020 by Frankye

Here’s a little Friday Fun: an Illinois hospital has produced a cute dance video for Breast Cancer Awareness Month to encourage women to schedule a mammagram. Nurses, surgeons and other normally staid hospital staff get down with pink feather boas, pink ribbon-shaped balloons and more. There’s even a drum majorette spinning a mean baton. The adorableness starts about 30 seconds in.

HON Furniture raising prices. Get your new office furniture before it’s too late.

Posted on August 19, 2011September 22, 2011 by Frankye

Great time to purchase Hon Furniture! We received a note today that Hon Office Furniture is going to have a price increase next month. With the price of raw materials increasing and increased shipping costs, office furniture manufacturers have to increase pricing to cover cost. If you knew that you could save money today over the cost of buying something tomorrow, would you do it? Here is the note we received from HON:

HON AND BASYX PRICE CHANGE – September 1, 2011 HON will be having a price change effective September 1, 2011. These changes will reflect an increase that varies by product between -14.5% and 9.8%.

Hon will not provide us with exact product numbers or sku’s that are going to increase the most, but looking at the last couple of price increases, we think Hon office chairs, office desks, bookcases, and file cabinets will have the largest price increase. If you know you need new office furniture, make your purchase before the price increases at the end of the month!

Survive the office air conditioner war: what to do when the indoor temperature is too cold to work.

Posted on July 18, 2011April 30, 2019 by Frankye

The dog days of summer are here. It’s feels like it’s 105° outside, but about 30° in your office. Here are 5 tips that will keep you from freezing to death under the office air conditioner.

1. Dress for the cool temperature of your office, not the weather outside.

When you’re on the loosing side of the office air conditioner wars, it’s important to for the office, instead of the hot summer weather outside. That way, you won’t freeze to death under an AC unit cranked up to 11. Keep a comfy scarf or sweater in your office, and dress in easy-to-remove layers. However, you don’t want your work area to look like the inside of teenager’s closet, so hang the extra clothing on inexpensive coat hooks.

2. Have a nice cup of tea.

Nothing wards off the chill of the AC like a hot cup of tea. Plus, tea boosts the immune system. Drink up and avoid your yearly summer cold.

3. Move around.

A cold office is especially rough on people with sedentary jobs. If you sit at a computer all day, get up and walk around a few times a day to warm up your muscles.

4. Get a space heater.

If the quick and easy remedies don’t provide any relief, it may be worth it to invest in a space heater if your office allows them. There are tons of energy-efficient space heaters on the market today that are small enough to fit under your desk. Check out the electric space heater guide at OnTimeSupplies.com for tips on choosing the best heater for your office.

5. Use a desk fan.

Maybe you’ve got the opposite problem. Maybe your office manager is immune to charm, bribery and the unsightly sweat stains on your shirt, and just won’t turn the thermostat down and the air conditioner up. Time to invest in a desk fan. Today’s options are powerful, quiet and inexpensive.

If you have any tips on surviving the summer office air conditioner wars, we want to hear them! Leave your suggestions in the comments or connect with us on Facebook.
